FOREWORD 



AERODROMES— LANDING FIELDS. 

The Field required for the landing of an aeroplane should not 
have less than 1,200 feet straight away under most conditions. The 
fields size, however, is a matter for individual determination. 

The aerodrome consists primarily of a landing field. Contrary 
to many reports, the selection of this field requires due care. Any 
old inlet is not a harbor, any old barn won't serve as a terminal, any 
old cowpath is not a state road and any old pasture won't do for a 
landing field. The field must be level and it must be well drained. 
Its location must be such that local air conditions are not dangerous. 
Its size and shape may vary. 

The ideal landing field at sea level would be about 1,800 feet 
square, but this is not necessary. Two first-class landing fields are 
shown in the accompanying illustrations. Ot the points where land- 
ings and take-offs are to be made there should be a landing plot of 
concrete, or other paving material. In consideration of the landing 
field requirements, only the aeroplane has been considered, inasmuch 
as in general any field suitable for an aeroplane is suitable for an air- 
ship. 

Aerodromes should therefore be equipped with an adequate gaso- 
line and lubricating oil storage station. Provision should, if possible, 
be made so that aircraft can be housed. For aeroplanes a hangar is 
needed ; for airships, mooring towers or blocks will serve. The equip- 
ment of the aerodrome with repair facilities depends, of course, upon 
the amount of traffic. 

The marking of aerodromes should be such that by night and day 
the pilot passing overhead will he ahle to identify and locate them. 
This will necessitate proper licensing and classifying of such and the 
issue of this "Landing Field Guide" corresponds in many ways to the 
Automobile Blue Book. With the growth of aviation aerodromes will 
he as important to the community as its harbors, its railroad terminals 
and its roads. 

The establishment of municipal aerodromes is a logical step in the 
development of commercial aviation and of the community. Housing 
and repair facilities and fuel and oil stations can all be placed under 
private management if desired; but the landing field itself, with 
necessary equipment for safe landing and take off, is as integral a part 
of the community as its roads. For the permanent housing and 
maintenance of aircraft there will of course be privately owned aero- 
dromes. 

Communities first establishing aerodromes invite to themselves 
aerial mail service, aerial passenger and express service, visits from 
pleasure-seeking aviators, and the many auxiliary benefits which ac- 
company broadened field of action.

INTRODUCTION 

It is our intention to incorporate in the "Landing Field Guide & 
Pilot's Log Book" all available information that will be of help to 
the Pilot. 

When you are preparing for a flight, consult the Guide. Take 
time and read over the "Helpful Hints" and "Don'ts". If you are 
preparing for a cross-country flight, say thru the states of New 
Jersey and Pennsylvania, buy a 15 cent map of those states and check 
off the places that are designated in the Guide as having Landing 
fields and aviation facilities. To reproduce practical maps of all the 
landings and routes would fill a large and heavy book itself. 

Pilots should keep a complete record of every flight as this is es- 
sential for the proper care and operation of both machine and motor 
and above all it is most essential for the pilot as a proof of his flying 
time and experience. Pilots should be and will be asked to show a 
certified proof of their flying to insurance companies and when ap- 
plying for a position, etc. 

If you have your Army log book, or by writing to the Govern- 
ment you can obtain a certified proof of your flying time and by en- 
tering its total into this, your personal book, and having a Notary 
certify it you have a record to date and then can continue from 
there on. 

Pilots should be proud of their flying records and want to add to it. 

The Editor. 

Note : — Every month new civilian or municipal landing fields will 
have been established after this Guide has gone to press. We shall 
be grateful to anyone who will inform us of any information that 
they think will be of help to the pilots so it may be incorporated in 
the next edition. 



DON'TS 



Don't fly if you can't walk straight. 

Don't fly unless you are physically fit. 

Don't fly without Goggles; you may not see it thru. 

Don't be a dummy; Yell, contact "ON" or "OFF." 

Don't forget your Safety-Beit; Safety-First. 

Don't zoom off the ground; try it on a cloud. 

Don't take off in a climbing turn; the ground may follow. 

Don't hurry-off without flying speed; start right and fly off. 

Don't stall; use your Wings and fly. 

Don't worry about coming down; it's a safe bet. 

Don't invent new stunts; let LOCKLEAR do it. 

Don't be a flying fool; a damn fool is safer. 



HELPFUL HINTS 



Be conservative. 

Educate the Civilian Public with the Safety Factors of flying. 

An accident is a setback in the development of Commercial Avia- 
tion. 

Never stunt an Airplane unless you are in flying trim and unless 
the Airplane is in flying speed. 

Feel out your Machine and Motor thoroughly. 

Fly your Machine; don't let it fly you. 

Good pilots do not fly mechanically; they fly by feel. 

Most Pilots fail to readily adapt themselves to different Machines 
and Motors of high or low horse-power and fly accordingly. 

A Good pilot never stunts a Machine, new to him, the first time 
he takes it up. 

Be conservative; especially when carrying passengers or flying 
low over a crowd. 

It is better to be a Sky-Pilot than a Crack- Ace. Be conservative. 



NECESSARY SPARES 



It is not advisable to carry more weight than is absolutely nec- 
essary because extra or excess weight may cause a crash when taking- 
off or landing in a limited space. Some tools and spares are essen- 
tial and very helpful to Pilot or Mechanic. 

Every machine should carry, at least, the following: a roll of 
insulating tape for ignition, oil, water, or gasoline leaks. A pair of 
pliers, an adjustable wrench, a jet wrench, a screw-driver, a knife 
and an extra set of Spark Plugs. Emergency repairs can be made 
with the above, getting you home or to an Aerodrome. 



CROSS COUNTRY 

If long cross-country flights are to be made over country un- 
equipped with aviation facilities, spares should be carried accordingly; 
such as inner-tubes, valves and valve-springs, etc. 

Cross-country flying needs more preparation and care in checking 
over machine and motor. Unless the Airplane has been in constant 
use and properly cared for mechanically it should be given a thorough 
test flight to insure that every part of the machine and motor is func- 
tioning properly; such as oil and water circulating. No overheat- 
ing, ignition correctly timed, gasoline feeding and all controls in good 
condition; greased at pulleys and working freely. 

If the motor is new or old it should be warmed up slowly and 
flown accordingly. Valve guides and rocker arms must be kept well 
oiled. Valve springs, breaker points and distributor should be ex- 
amined frequently. The Gasoline line and carburetor jets drained 
and cleaned, making sure that the tank and system is free from dirt 
and water. Strain thru chamois every drop of gasoline put into your 
tank and keep dirt from the oil. 

Pilots in the Army Air Service depend upon their mechanics. 
Civilian flying depends mostly upon the pilots. 

No mechanic realizes nor can appreciate the importance of having 
an Airplane in the best of condition unless he constantly accompan- 
ies the Pilot. 

In flying over a new route carry a map if available or get a mental 
view of all possible landmarks. Always take-off into the wind and 
circle the field for altitude. In flight keep a look-out for possible 
landing fields in case of trouble and keep plenty of altitude as there 
is Safety in Height. Avoid storm clouds and especially fog if 
possible because of its hanging so close to the ground. On approach- 
ing ; circle around your field to observe its surface and the direction of 
the wind so as to land into it. When throttled down, to glide in, 
keep clearing out your motor so it will pick up instantly if needed. 

When a forced landing is made always house and guard your ma- 
chine when possible. If out in the open over night or during a storm 
the propeller, motor and cockpit should be covered and the machine tied 
head into wind with control stick and rudder bar tied firmly in neu- 
tral position. 



" LET GEORGE DO TO " 

Major Bartholf flying an S E 5 was the second contestant in 
the Trans-continental Air Race to reach New York in a single-seater. 

His advice to young pilots is this: 

In a reliability race, rely on yourself. Don't race your motor 
any more than possible and don't race your opponent. Supervise 
every detail of equipment. Choose your own tools, maps, spares and 
compass. If you want to get there, never "Let George Do It". 



international Air Navigation 

(%ule of the Air) 

The following is a part of that which has been drawn up for the 
Convention relating to International Air Navigation by the aero- 
nautic experts of the world. 

The word "aircraft" comprises all balloons, whether fixed or free, 
kites, airships, and flying machines. 

The word "balloon," either fixed or free, shall mean an aircraft 
using gas lighter than air as a means of support, and having no means 
of propulsion. 

The word "airship" shall mean an aircraft using gas lighter than 
air as a means of support, and having means of propulsion. 

The words "flying machine" shall mean all aeroplanes, seaplanes, 
flying boats, or other aircraft heavier than air, and having means of 
propulsion. 

An airship is deemed to be "under way" within the meaning of 
these rules when it is not made fast to the ground or any object on 
land or water. 

Flying machines shall always give way to balloons fixed or free 
and to airships. Air ships shall always give way to balloons, whether 
fixed or free. 

When two motor-driven aircraft are meeting end on or nearly 
end on each shall alter its course to the right. 

When two motor-driven aircraft are on courses which cross, 
the aircraft which has the other on its own right side shall keep out of 
the way of the other. 

An aircraft overtaking any other shall keep out of the way of the 
overtaken aircraft by altering its own course to the right, and must 
not pass by diving. 

Every aircraft which is directed by these rules to keep out of the 
way of another aircraft shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, 
avoid crossing ahead of the other. 

In following an officially recognized air route every aircraft, when 
it is safe and practicable, shall keep to the right side of such route. 

All aircraft on land or sea about to ascend shall not attempt to 
"take off" until there is no risk of collision with alighting aircraft. 

Every aircraft in a cloud, fog, mist or other conditions of bad vis- 
ibility shall proceed with caution, having careful regard to the ex- 
isting circumstances and conditions. 

In obeying and construing these rules due regard shall be had to 
all dangers of navigation and collision to any special circumstances 
which may render a departure from the above rules necessary in order 
to avoid immediate danger. 

The dropping of ballast other than fine sand or water from air- 
craft in the air is prohibited. 

RULES FOR AIR TRAFFIC ON AND IN THE VICINITY 
OF AERODROMES. 
At every aerodrome there shall be a flag hoisted in a prominent 
position which shall indicate that if an aircraft about to land or leave 
finds it necessary to make a circuit, or partial circuit, such circuit shall 
be left-handed (anti-clockwise) or right-handed (clockwise), accord- 
ing to the colour of the flag. A white flag shall indicate a right- 
handed circuit, i. e., that the flag is kept to the right side or side which 

12 



carries the green light of the aircraft, and a red flag shall indicate a 
left-handed circuit, i.e., that the red flag is kept to the left side or side 
which carries the red light of the aircraft. 

When an aeroplane starts from the aerodrome it shall not turn 
until 500 meters distance from the nearest point of the aerodrome, and 
the turning then must conform with the regulations provided in the 
preceding paragraph. 

All aeroplanes flying between 500 and 1,000 meters distance from 
the nearest point of an aerodrome shall conform to the above men- 
tioned circuit law, unless such aeroplanes are flying at a greater height 
'than 2,000 meters. 

Acrobatic landings are prohibited at aerodromes of contracting 
States used for international aerial traffic. Aircraft are prohibited 
from engaging in aerial acrobatics within a distance of at least 2,000 
meters from the nearest point of such aerodromes. 

At every recognised aerodrome the direction of the wind shall be 
clearly indicated by one or more of the recognised methods, e. g. f land- 
ing tee, conical streamer, smudge fire, &c. 

Every aeroplane when taking off or alighting on a recognised aero- 
drome used for international air traffic shall do so up-wind, except 
when the natural conditions of the aerodrome do not permit. 

In the case of the aeroplanes approaching aerodromes for the pur- 
pose of landing, the aeroplanes flying at the greater height shall be 
responsible for avoiding the aeroplane at the lower height, and shall 
as regards landing observe the rules of paragraph 28 for passing. 

Aeroplanes showing signals of distress shall be given free way 
in attempting to make a landing on an aerodrome. 

Every aerodrome shall be considered to consist of three zones 
when looking up-wind. The right-hand zone shall be the taking-off 
immediately taxi into the neutral zone. Similarly an aeroplane when 
taking-off shall keep as far as possible towards the right of the tak- 
ing-off zone, but shall keep clear to the left of any aeroplanes which 
are taking off or about to take off. 

No aeroplane shall commence to take off until the preceding aero- 
plane is clear of the aerodrome. 

Nothing in these rules shall exonerate any aircraft, or the owner, 
pilot or crew thereof, from the consequences of any neglect to carry 
lights or signals, or of any neglect to keep a proper lookout, or of the 
neglect of any precaution which may be required by the ordinary 
practice of the air, or by the special circumstances of the case. 

Nothing in these rules shall interfere with the operation of any 
special rule or rules duly made and published relative to navigation 
of aircraft in the immediate vicinity of any aerodrome or other place, 
and it shall be obligatory on all owners, pilots, or crews of aircraft to 
obey such rules. 



CERTIFICATES FOR PILOTS OF FLYING MACHINES 

(A). Private Pilot's Flying Certificate 

(not valid for purposes of public transport). 

1. Practical Tests: 

In each practical test the candidate must be alone in the flying ma- 
chine. 

(a.) Test for Altitude and Gliding Flight. A flight without 
landing during which the pilot shall remain for at least an hour at a 
minimum altitude of 2,000 meters above the point of departure. The 
descent shall finish with a glide, the engines cut off at 1,500 meters 
above the landing ground. The landing shall be made without re- 
starting the engine and within 150 meters or less of a point fixed be- 
forehand by the official examiners of the test. 

(6.) Tests of Skill. A flight without landing around two posts (or 
buoys) situated 500 meters apart making a series of five figure-of- 
eight turns, each turn reaching one of the two posts (or buoys) . This 
flight shall be made at an altitude of not more than 200 meters above 
the ground (or water) without touching the ground (or water). The 
landing shall be effected by: 

(i.) Finally shutting off the engine or engines at least when the 
aircraft touches the ground (or water). 

(ii.) Finally stopping the flying machine within a distance of 
50 meters from a point fixed by the candidate before starting. 

2. Special Requirements: 

Knowledge of rules as to Lights and Signals, and Rules of the 
Air. Rules for Air Traffic on and in the Vicinity of Aerodromes. A 
practical knowledge of international air legislation. 

(B.) Pilot's Certificate for flying Machines for Purposes 
of Public Transport. 

1. Practical Tests: 

In each practical test the candidate must be alone in the flying ma- 
chine. 

(a.) The tests for altitude and gliding flight and for skill are 
the same as those required for a private pilot's flying certificate. Can- 
didates already in possession of the latter certificate are not required 
to pass these tests again. 

(b.) Test of endurance consisting of a cross-country or oversea 
flight of at least 300 kilometers, after which the final landing shall be 
made at the point of departure. This flight shall be made in the same 
flying machine within eight hours. It shall include two obligatory 
landings (during which the machine must come to rest), which shall 
not be at the point of departure, but which shall be fixed by the judges. 

At the time of departure the candidate shall be informed of his 
course and furnished with the appropriate map. The judges will de- 
cide whether the course has been correctly followed. 

(c.) Night Flight. A thirty minutes' flight made between two 
hours after sunset and two hours before sunrise, at a height of at least 
500 meters. 

2. Technical Examination. 

After satisfactory practical tests have been passed, candidates 
will, when summoned, submit themselves to examination on — 

(a.) Flying Machines: 

Theoretical knowledge of the resistance of the air as concerns its 
effects on wings and tail planes, rudders, elevators, and propellers; 
functions of the different parts of the machine and of their controls. 



Assembling of flying machines and their different parts. 

Practical tests on riggings. 

(b.) Engines: 

General knowledge of internal combustion engines, including 
functions of the various parts; a general knowledge of the construc- 
tion, assembling, adjustment, and characteristics of aero-engines. 

Causes of the faulty running of engines and of breakdown. 

Practical tests in running repairs. 

(c.) Special Requirements: 

Knowledge of Rules as to Lights and Signals and Rules of the- 
Air, and Rules for Air Traffic on and in the Vicinity of Aerodrome. 

Practical knowledge of the special conditions of air traffic and of 
international air legislation 

Map reading, orientation, location of position, elementary meteor- 
ology. 

The practical tests shall be carried out within a maximum period 
of one month. 

They may be carried out in any order, and each may be attempt- 
ed twice. They shall be witnessed by properly accredited examiners, 
who will forward the official reports to the proper authorities. 

The official reports will give the different incidents, especially 
those of landings. The candidates shall furnish before each test prop- 
er identity forms. 

A barograph shall be carried on all practical tests, and the graph, 
signed by the examiners, shall be attached to their report. 

Pilots who hold the military pilot's certificate shall be entitled 
to the private pilot's flying certificate, but, in order to obtain the pilot's 
flying certificate for purposes of Public Transport it will be necessary 
to pass the technical conditions for navigation as required by B (2) 
(c). 

MEDICAL CERTIFICATES. 

International Medical Requirements for Air Navigation. 

1. Every candidate before obtaining a licence as a pilot, navi- 
gator or engineer of aircraft engaged in public transport will present 
himself for examination by specially qualified medical men (flight 
surgeons) , appointed by or acting under the authority of the contract- 
ing State. 

2. Medical supervision, both for the selection and the mainten- 
ance of efficiency, shall be based upon the following requirements of 
mental and physical fitness: — 

(a.) Good family and personal history, with particular refer- 
ence to nervous stability. Absence of any mental, moral or physical 
defect which will interfere with flying efficiency. 

(6.) The minimum age for pilots and navigators engaged in 
public transport shall be nineteen (19) years. 

(c.) General Surgical, Examination. The aeronaut must neither 
suffer from any wound, injury or operation nor possess any abnormal- 
ity, congenital or otherwise, which will interfere with the efficient and 
safe handling of aircraft. 

(d.) General Medical Examination. The aeronaut must not 
suffer from any disease or disability which renders him liable sudden- 
ly to become incompetent in the management of aircraft. He must 
possess heart, lungs, kidneys and nervous system capable of with- 
standing the effects of altitude and also the effects of prolonged flight. 



(e.) Eye Examination. The aeronaut must possess a degree 
of visual acuity compatible with the efficient performance of his duties. 
No pilot or navigator shall have more than two (2) dioptres of latent 
hypermetropia ; muscle balance must be good and commensurate with 
the refraction. He must have a good field of vision in each eye and 
must possess normal colour perception. 

(/.) Ear Examination. The middle ear must be healthy. The 
aeronaut must possess a degree of auditory acuity compatible with the 
efficient performance of his duties. 

(g.) The vestibular mechanism must be intact and neither un- 
duly hypersensitive or hyposensitive. 

(h.) Nose and Throat Examination. The aeronaut must pos- 
sess free nasal air entry on either side and not suffer from serious 
acute or chronic affections of the upper respiratory tract. 

3. Each contracting State shall for the present fix its own 
methods of examination until the detail of tests and the minimal 
standard of requirements have been finally settled by the authorized 
medical representatives of the International Commission for Air Navi- 
gation. 

4. The successful candidate will receive a medical certificate of 
acceptance, which must be produced before the license can be issued. 

5. In order to insure the maintenance of efficiency, every aero- 
naut shall be re-examined periodically, at least every six months, and 
the findings shall be attached to his original record. In case of illness 
or accident also, an aeronaut shall be re-examined and pronounced fit 
before resuming air duties. The date and result of each re-examina- 
tion shall be recorded on the aeronaut's flying certificate. 

6. No aeronaut who, before the date of the present Convention, 
has given proof of his flying ability, shall, so long as he retains such 
ability, be necessarily disqualified because he fails to fulfil all of the 
above requirements. 

7. Each contracting State may raise the conditions set forth 
above, as it deems fit, but these minimal requirements shall be main- 
tained internationally.

General Rules to be Observed at all U. S. Flying 

Fields 

(These should be observed by all Civilian Aviation) 

During the rush of war the rules of flying pertaining to the avi- 
ation activities were left entirely to the Commanding Officer of each 
and every Air Service Station. This resulted in such a state that 
pilots flying under the rules of one field found themselves breaking all 
of the rules of the field when entering another station. For this rea- 
son and for the sake of standardization of flying fields, general rules 
which pertain and apply to all Air Service activities have been com- 
piled. They contain only general rules in regard to hangars, ma- 
chines, ground rules and rules of the air, and hold true in all Air 
Service Stations. It is understood that each field will have special 
rules peculiar to its own locality. The general rules are as follows: 
These rules also apply to civilian pilots who may be using a flying 
field under the permission of the Air Service. 

Hangars 

1. Smoking is prohibited in any hangar or within 25 feet of any 
machine or gasoline container. Notice to this effect to be posted in 
the hangar. 

2. Landing or taking off must not be over hangars. 

3. Visitors will not be allowed on the flying field or in the vicinity 
of hangar unless they are accompanied by an officer or enlisted man 
of the post. 

4. Landing near hangar is prohibited. 

5. Hangars must be cleared by 50 feet. 

Machines 

1. The crew chief will personally inspect and see that all safety 
belts are securely fastened and fit snugly; in case a seat is empty that 
the safety belt is so fastened as to prohibit it ever becoming entangled 
in the controls. 

2. Instructors and students in flying will not wear a long coat or 
loose clothing that might become entangled in the controls, nor will 
loose articles such as waste or rags that might jam the controls be 
left in the machine. 

3. In leaving a machine always head it into the wind and change 
the propeller to a horizontal position. 

4. Unless alone pilots should not attempt to start a motor without 
assistance. (This is properly a cross-country rule.) 

5. Do not take a machine into the air unless you are satisfied it is 
in perfect condition. 

6. Never leave the ground with the motor leaking or running poor- 
ly. Never take a machine in the air until you are thoroughly familiar 
with the working of the throttle, the switch, the gasoline shut-off, the 
oil pressure, the air release, the air-pump, and all other controls and 
instruments. 

7. If pilot finds anything wrong with the plane he is to report it 
to his Flight Commander and to no one else. 



Ground Rules. 

1. Ambulances to be on flying field during all flying hours with a 
surgeon and necessary medical detail in attendance. Ambulance 
should be equipped with all necessary tools, such as wire cutters, 
axes and fire extinguishers. 

2. A landing "T" will be used on flying fields to designate the di- 
rection of landing and will govern irrespective of the direction of the 
wind. As far as practicable this "T" will be kept headed into the 
wind. 

3. Do not turn sharply in taxying when on starting lines, instead 
of turning short, have tail lifted around, thus avoiding a turn which 
might strain the fuselage. 

4. Do not taxy closer to 100 feet to another ship unless mechanic 
has hold of wing. 

5. Never get out of machine with motor running until pilot re- 
lieving you can reach engine controls. 

6. Pilot must clearly inspect machine before taking same into the 
air. Inspect action of controls. 

7. In taxying to take off position, oblique machine to right or left 
to make sure that the section of the field you are going to use is clear, 
and that no other machines are coming in to land directly behind you. 

8. Machines in flying into field have preference over those about 
to leave. 

9. It is advisable to carry a good pair of cutting pliers in a posi- 
tion where both passenger and pilot can reach them in case of an 
accident. 

10. Never use glass goggles. No flights should be made without 
goggles or a helmet. Handkerchiefs should be carried in a handy 
position in order that goggles may be wiped off. 

11. Riding on steps, wings or tails of a machine is forbidden. 

12. A fire extinguisher will be carried on each machine. 

13. Before leaving ground pilots and passengers will make sur« 
that belts are securely fastened. 

14. After coming on a dead line allow motor to idle a few minutes 
to prevent sudden cooling of motor, thus warping valves. 

15. In taking off, look on the ground and in the air behind, in front 
and to either side. 

16. In taking off never start suddenly. Open throttle change and 
take the first 20 feet slowly, thus avoiding other pilots that are about 
to take off. 

17. In case engine fails on take off, land straight ahead regardless 
of obstacles. 

18. A plane with a dead motor has the right of way in landing. 

19. No plane is to taxy faster than a man can walk. 

20. Do not forget to close throttle before starting motor. 

21. In taxying hold elevator back, never taxying with tail end 
without man holding the wings. 

22. Planes will not be taxyed abreast. They will follow 100 feet in 
the rear of the preceding machine. 

23. Never run motor so that blast from the propeller will blow 
on other machines or in the direction of the hangar. 

24. Motors will be tried out only in the presence of the Flying 
Officer. 

25. Rules about right of way are for guidance only. Collisions 
are always avoidable. There is no right of way. Every pilot must 
be awake at all times and prevent his machine from getting danger- 



OUsly near another machine. 

26. Never turn a machine after landing until you have looked 
around you and are sure the path is clear. 

27. No two cadets shall fly together. Cadet must be accompanied 
by an instructor when flying dual. 

28. No ship will cross the line when motor is running. 

Rules of the Air. 

1. Speed always means control. Loss of speed means loss of con- 
trol. If motor starts to miss while getting out of field always nose 
plane down to gain flying speed before trying any maneuvers. Most 
crashes are caused by trying to turn close to the ground without suf- 
ficient flying speed. 

2. After flight has begun if conditions arise that make flying haz- 
ardous, land as soon as possible. 

3. Do not trust any altitude instruments. Learn to judge altitude, 
especially on landings. Barometric conditions may change in a cross- 
country flight, so that even a barometer that is functioning properly 
may read an incorrect altitude. Moreover, the altitude of the land- 
ing place may be different from that of the starting point. 

4. An officer in charge of flying will prescribe whatever rules are 
necessary and advisable to cover such lines of traffic as are necessary 
to eliminate the possibility of accidents when machines are coming 
into and taking off from the home field. 

5. In all maneuvers where altitude is lost rapidly, be sure that 
no machines are under you. 

6. If other machines precede you in starting, allow them to gain a 
sufficient distance before following. Do not follow in trace; propeller 
wash will thus be avoided. 

7. In passing a machine going in the same direction, have an in- 
terval of at least 200 yards. 

8. In passing over or under another machine, interval must be at 
least 200 yards. 

9. Machine approaching head-on pass to the right at an interval 
of at least 200 yards. 

10. Before beginning a glide see that no machines are under you. 
Those flying beneath you have preference. 

11. If you see another machine, get out of its way. Do not de- 
pend upon the other pilot having seen you. 

12. At all times keep machine in such position, in reference to 
sui table ground, that a landing can be effected at any time. 

l!T Do not cut across bows of other machines when making your 
first turn. 

14. No vertical banks, steep climbing turns or zooming will be done 
under 300 feet. 

15. All acrobacy such as loops, wingovers, eights, rolls, half-rolls 
and spins must be completed at not less than 1,500 feet. 

16. All instruction in forced landing is to be done with the in- 
structor in the machine. 

17. Come out of steep side-slips and spirals at not less than 300 
feet. 

18. At no time will "hedge-hopping" be tolerated. 

19. No machine will take off until the officer in charge has been 
notified of proposed air route to be followed, the purpose of a flight 
and the names of both pilot and passenger. 



20. All landings will be made on the home field except in case of 
forced landings or to assist another pilot whose machine has been 
wrecked. All such landings off home field will be reported immed- 
iately upon return to the officer in charge of flying. 

21. No pilot will fly over a city or town without sufficient altitude 
to reach a landing place. 

22. All pilots going out for acrobatics will be assigned to sectors 
far enough from the field so that they will not interfere with the reg- 
ular traffic. 

23. No acrobatics will be indulged in without the permission of 
the officer in charge of flying. 

24. Whenever possible, landings and take offs will be directly into 
the wind. 

25. There will be a trouble-shooter on the field at all times when 
flying is going on. 

26. No spins on back or tail slides will be indulged in as they put 
unnecessary strain on the machine. 

27. All machines will land in a straight glide from 500 feet. 

28. No acrobatics at any time will be done over the field. 

29. To go off the ground in a side wind, be sure to allow the ma- 
chine to have flying speed before attempting to arise then turn slight- 
ly into the wind, gain a safe altitude and then level out before attempt- 
ing to turn and go with the wind. 

30. If machine slides in, use more rudder or take off some of your 
bank or combine both. 

31. If flying against the wind and you wish to turn and fly with the 
wind, do not make a sharp turn close to the ground. 

32. In gliding for a landing, if gliding flat at a high altitude, in- 
crease the angle of the glide and store up speed when approaching the 
ground. If gliding flat and you wish to make a turn, increase the 
angle of glide and allow the machine to pick up speed, then make the 
turn. Glide steep rather than flat. Increase glide for a turn. 

33. Motors have been known to stop during a long glide on account 
of running same throttled down too low. If pilot wishes the use of 
motor for landing, open throttle at intervals during the glide. 

34. In coming down with excess speed, level out and allow machines 
to skim along close to ground. Do not attempt to force machine on 
ground with more than flying speed; the result is bouncing and ri- 
cocheting.

AIR ROUTES 

WASHINGTON, D. C. TO NEW YORK— 235 MILES. 

Lt. Col. Hartz in a twin-motored machine "Round the Rim" 

Leaving Boiling Field the first landing field available is that at 
the mail station, seven miles out of town. The field is about twenty 
rods east of the B. & 0. Railroad. This field is well marked with two 
hangars and some other smaller buildings, a large white circle, and 
"cinder runways out to the field proper. The field is in rather low 
ground, but has an excellent approach and if one lands as near as 
possible to the end of the runways, the ground will be found hard 
enough. 

Our course runs almost exactly midway between the Pennsylvania 
and the B. & O. from there to Camp Meade with no good fields. 

Around Camp Meade, however, there are several possible fields. 
The country here is pretty badly chopped into small fields and the 
ground is for the most part clay which gives good fields in the dry 
weather and rather bad ones in the wet weather. 

At Baltimore there are several fields that will do nicely. The 
Pimlica race track is rather rough but large enough, and has good hard 
ground. Clifton Park, a few rods west of a large oval reservoir is an 
excellent landing field if there are not too many baseball games going 
on on it. The golf course there is ample in size for any light ships. 
Six miles from the center of the city and just off the National High 
Way is a large field that is being prepared as the Municipal Landing 
Field. 

From Baltimore to New York the fields are larger and a landing 
where the railroads cross the Susquehanna River. There are several 
hangars there and a well marked field. The best part of the field 
is right adjacent the hangars. 

Good country prevails from thereon with the next gas station at 
Bustleton which is northwest of the city of Philadelphia. From 
(Philadelphia, follow the Broad Street Boulevard, a very distinct road 
with two sets of parking in it until reaching a large circle. Follow 
iin a direct line the north fork of the road and Bustleton is just three 
voiles from the circle. The two hangars are not well marked and the 
ield is an easy one to miss. It is exactly half way in direct line to- 
wards the Philadelphia County Race Track. Good fields prevail from 
there to New York with the exception of the country right around 
Perth Amboy. On Long Island there are many fields the best of 
which are Belmont Park, formerly the Air Mail field and Hazelhurst, 
Roosevelt and Mitchell field around Mineola. 

NEW YORK TO AUGUSTA, ME.— 384 MILES 

Course leads out along a railroad along the northern shore of 
jthe Island. Good Landing fields all along the Island except the pilot 
must be careful to avoid low ground as it is swampy. Passed Montauk 
}:10. Excellent wheat field for landing just North of railroad at this 
point. Altitude 2,000 feet. 
r -jeft Long Island 9:25 to Plum Island 9:27. Good landing field at 

fort with good approach. Headed for Fishers Island, Storming- 

ton, 9 :40. 
Z) awcatuck, 9:42. Plenty of fields large enough but one would have to 

be very careful to avoid granite boulders which are there in large 

numbers and sizes. 



Bradford, 9:46. A possible but not very good one way field here. 
Wood River Junction, 9:47. Two fair fields just east of town. 
Shannon, 9:51. Two good fields just east of twon. 
Slocum, 9:55. Two best fields since leaving Long Island just East 

of railroad. 
East Greenwich, 10:02. Fields about here have many stones in them. 

Bad Landing. 
Appanaugh, 10:05. Good landing field just West of Race Track. 

Perfect approach. 
Providence, 10:10. Race Track V/ 2 mile southwest town, excellent 

field and approach. 
East Junction, 10:20. Fields here are few and small. 
Boston, Franklin Field. Good Field. Emergency only. Boston air 

port proposed. 
Valiant, 10:50. 
Salem, 10:55. 
Danver, 10:59. 
Beverly, 10:57. 
Hamilton, 11:05. First Good Landing field in half an hour, 3 mile 

west from towm 
Essex. Race Tract. 

Newberryport, 11:10. Several good fields just south of town. 
Portsmouth, 11:23. Good field just southwest of town. 2 miles. 
Portland. Landing Field northwest of town. 
Lewiston. Several good fields along river. Almost all one way 

fields quite a lot of pasture land, cattle must be avoided but make 

excellent fields. 
Augusta, 1:04. Field rough for heavily loaded big ships but good for 

small ones. Field is half mile southwest of town and can't be 

missed. 

Country from Boston north is not very good for flying large ships 
though a landing could be made anywhere along the beach. It would 
be perfectly safe to send planes of the Curtiss type anywhere along 
there. Seaplanes could fly in perfect safety all over this section of 
the country as it abounds in large lakes that are almost contiguous. 

AUGUSTA, ME. TO JAY, NEW YORK— 352 MILES. 

11:15 — Left Augusta, Me., with strong head wind. Headed foi 
Montpelier one hundred and thirty miles away. For twenty miles f 
from Augusta landing fields were plentiful, until we came to a smal' 
town called Paris. From then on there were no fields that could btr 
used for anything but a possible place to land in with least crack up 
Passed over first mountain range at 12:15. There are no fields of anj 
kind, no sign of railroad, houses, roads, fields, or anything but lakes 
timber, and rock. Absolute wilderness. 

11:25 — Still flying compass course. Have not seen landmark 1 
house, field, town or sign of human life for one hour and ten minute.'? 
until just now. Field here could be landed in after a fashion, but fr 
is doubtful if one could ever get out of them. According to map: 
should be near Wodsville. 
Montpelier, 1:45. Landing field marked with "T" in center rati 

track. Cross Lake Champlain at Essex at 2:02. Along La^ 

Shore, landing fields plentiful in immediate vicinity.

pJo houses, roads, or sight of civilization since 1 :50 all woods and lakes. 

Altitude, 4,500 feet, until in vicinity of Pulaski. 

Pulaski, 2:18. Land anywhere in vicinity. 

pround is very level and flat. Are nearing Lake Ontario. Landing 
can be made anywhere but one must be sure to land parallel with 
the water drains or dead furrow which are about twenty-four feet 

I apart and eight inches deep. Soil is black loam. 

Vtexico, 2:28. Just passed Carthage. 

Oswego, 2:40. Good fields. 

Rochester, 3 :30. Good fields, and between. 

Lockport, 4:36. Good fields abundant. Could land anywhere but 
must be careful to land parallel to dead furrows. Landed Curtiss 
plant, four miles north of Buffalo and one and one-half miles east 
of river. Must land on runway as field is low and very rough off 
runway. Field has two large hangars (marked with circles) 
and small office building at east end of field. A large T marks 
best part of runway, which is very long, and lined by red flags on 
borders of runway. Flags about 3 feet high so pilots should be 
careful to keep to middle of runway. 

3UFFALO TO NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y. & RETURN— 44 MILES.

fields everywhere, except that pilots must be careful to land with 

the water drains, and not across them, 
tirlsall, 5:20. Good fields in every direction. V 8 mile northwest 

oi town there is a field approximately 300 x 1,200 ft., with grass. 

covering.

Orchard, 5:30 p. m. 2 miles north of town there is a large hay field, 
approximately H mile by 500 ft. 

Deroy, 5:34 p. m. There are fairly good fields covering this section. 

Silver Creek, 5:38. Here there are small strips of forest, but very 
good fields between. 

Dunkirk, 5:47. A landing can be made anywhere in this section. 
Good fields predominate. 

Westfield, 6:01. The same is true here. There are excellent fields 
everywhere. 

The Cleveland Aero Club have a large field in view, 10 miles south- 
east of the city, where both land and seaplanes can be handled. 
This is an excellent field, and if their present plans are carried 
out, is one of the best prospects I have yet encountered. At 
present the only available field which is at all satisfactory is that 
at the Martin plant. 

CLEVELAND, OHIO TO DETROIT, MICH.— 143 MILES. 

Flew over lake shore and found landing fields all the way with but one 
exception mentioned later. 

Sandusky, 2:05. Good field. 

Cedar Point, 2:25. Good field. 

Manmee Bay and Toledo at 2:27. Country around here very swampy 
for ten miles each side of Toledo near lake shore. Inland there 
is good country. Reached Detroit 2:55. Landed Morrow Field 
at 3:05 p. m. Twelve hangars and excellent field. 

DETROIT TO CAMP CUSTER, MICH.— 134 MILES. 

9:13 a. m. Landing fields everywhere, but rolling. Following Mich- 
igan Central double track railway. 

Dearborne, 9:18. Fairly good emergency fields. 

Wayne, 9:25. Fairly good emergency fields. 

Ann Arbor, 9:40. Good fields but country is getting more rolling. 

Delhi Mills, 9:45. Fairly good emergency fields. 

Dexter, 9:50. Fairly good emergency fields. 

Chelsea, 9:53. There are innumerable fields here that at a casual 
glance appear to be excellent but a very close scrutiny reveals 
contours in almost all of them. The country is almost all what 
was once covered by the lake and the soil is sand on the knolls and 
black loani in bottom lands. There is no place, however, that from 
three thousand feet a good field could not be located. 

Landed Camp Custer, 10:31. Good field with excellent approach which 
will be well marked in future as in accordance with specifications: 
as commanding officer ordered. 

CAMP CUSTER, MICH., TO CHICAGO, ILL.— 143 MILES. 

Left Camp Custer, 1:26. 20 mile head wind. 

Lawton, 2:02. Few emergency fields.

Glenwood, 2:15. Few emergency fields. 

Landing fields always available though most fields show contours. 

Dowagiac, 2:20. Country very flat with plenty of fields. 

Milea, 2:26. Country very flat with plenty of fields. 

Buchannon, 2:28. Country very flat with plenty of fields. 



Micnigan City and Gary, 2:40. Only very few fields as country is 
well built up from here to Chicago. 

Landed Washington Park. Large Park with a great many baseball 
diamonds. Field eleven hundred yards long. Perfect. Police 
object to landing here, as field is usually crowded. Jackson Park 
one mile south is not so crowded and is big enough. 

The Chicago Aero Club field about V/ 2 miles southwest of city, has one 
large hundred foot wide hangar, several small hangars, and a 
field one mile square. Best place to land is directly in front of 
hangars where a place 1,000 feet square has been carefully rolled. 

I took up the question thoroughly with the Chicago Aviation Club with 
the idea of improving the entire mile square field. This they in- 
tend to do at once, putting in the markings as prescribed by the 
Air Service. 

CHICAGO TO MILWAUKEE, WIS.— 85 MILES

SPOKANE, WASHINGTON TO TACOMA, WASHINGTON 

The flying field at Spokane at the time of our visit though large enough 
was very poor owing to the fact of its having but one runway, 
grounds to the sides, rocky. On one side of the field there is a 
sheer drop into the river of 15 or 20 feet. On the other a wide 
road sufficiently ditched to upset a plane. There is, however, a 
large section of land adjoining this to the south which would make 
an excellent field. 

SPOKANE, WASH. TO WATERVILLE, WASH. 

There are a few scattered fields where emergency landings could be 
made with comparative safety.

ous in wet weather. Northwest corner of field best for landing. 

MEDFORD, ORE. TO SACRAMENTO, CALIF.— 308 MILES. 

Practically no fields except absolute emergency from Medford to Duns- 
muir. Following down the Sacramento Valley it is one continuous 
landing field, it being possible to place a ship practically anywhere 



with care. The principle fields are: 

Red Bluff. Flat field, no trees, 2,000 feet x 1,000 feet. 

Redding. Prepared field southwest and adjoining town, between Sac- 
ramento River and Redding. Field 1,000 x 2,000 feet. Care

ever, such as tall trees. Formerly used as race track. 

Gridley. Field one mile west of town. Very small, contains several 
oak trees, landing must be made from north. 

Woodland. Open country with numerous landing fields.

The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation — pioneers in the building of 
aircraft — pioneered in the development of commercial aviation. 

By its purchase of 2700 airplanes from the U. S. Government, it was able to 
supply the wants of aviation until the transition could be made from a war-time to 
a peace-time production basis. 

This purchase, consisting of the well-known JN-4D and the Standard which has 
been re-equipped with the reliable OX-5 motor, made it the only company prepared 
to furnish buyers with planes backed by the Curtiss reputation for Safety and 
Reliability. 

These planes are ready for immediate delivery at prices ranging from $2,000, for 
used machines and overhauled motors, to $6,750 for new machines and motors. 

The new Curtiss Oriole, three-seater airster, equipped with the K-6, 150 horse 
power motor — the machine that proved the sensation of 1919 — is ready for immediate 
delivery at $9,850. 

The Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation is prepared to do more than 
merely sell you a plane. It is ready to give you INSTANTANEOUS SERVICE— 
something that it alone is prepared and equipped to do. 

The following Curtiss distributors, located in all the centers of the United States, 
are prepared to supply you with information, to demonstrate and to render service:

Had the atmospheric pressure within the case been per- 
mitted 1o equalize itself with the rarified atmosphere of the 
high altitudes, or the extreme cold of 44 degrees below xero 
been permitted to reach the delicate movement, its compen- 
sation would have been seriously affected, rendering the watch 
undepecdable.

BOTCE 

First Across the Atlantic 



The Boyce Moto-Meter was standard equipment on 
the famous NC-4 — just as it was standard on the 
planes in the Great War. 

With the Distance Type Boyce Moto-Meter recording 
every variation in motor temperature, there is no dan- 
ger of an engine stalling from sudden cooling, or 
bearings burning out from over-heating.
